THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country LINING UP A LIMITED INTRODUCTION TO A FEW OF A STRING OF WINNERS IN THE FALL CAMPAIGN. THE NEXT GOVERNOR Mayor W. H. Craddock the peoples choice for governor of the great state of Kansas is making a profound impression wherever he touches in his campaign for Gubernatorial honors. His gentlemanly bearing his earnestness and the general makeup tells to the eye at a glance he is stamped a possessor of natural executive qualities that will bring to the head of our state affairs and unexcelled and an unequaled manager. The impression made upon the people by our next Governor is one of the lasting kind. We are proud to advocate the cause of man, that is a man and when we speak we speak with an acquaintance of over a quarter of a century. When we ask the people of Kansas, our race as well to vote for Mayor Craddock for Governor we do it, because we mean it and we know just what we ask you to vote for. OUR NEXT CORONER As announced in our issue of last week, the possibility of of a Negro entering the political races, since the delegate conventions were the decisions of the two parties Dr. S. H. Thompson, one of the representative Negroes of the race in the west and a most brilliant example of cultivated Negro brains has at the urgent request of many friends consented to enter the race for County Coronor and ask the nomination and election at the hands of the republican party. The question that is agitating the Negroes mind—Is—will the republican party do it. THE NEXT PROBATE JUDGE Hon. Mason Peters, the sage gentleman and one of the best known characters in the history of our community is the candidate on the democratic ticket for Judge of the Probate Court. That he will be elected those who know his running qualities cannot deny that he is alright in every respect all must agree, so if you want to get on the band wagon cast your vote for Hon. Mason Peters and you will have done one thing if no more to be proud of in Wyandotte County. A WINNING NFFDLE. Mr. Wm. Needlesthe Republican candidate for nomination and election to the office of clerk of the District Court is making a vigorous hustle and his fitting capabilities make him the man whom the people will most asurely support. Read the Citizen each week HURRAH! FOR OUR NEXT COUNTY ATTORNEY Hon. Jno. E. McFadden the brilliant young lawyer who being reared in Wyan dote County needs no elaborate introduction to the citizens here. Being one of us his career is known. He is before the people of this county where his manly ability, uprightness and polished manners and thorough knowledge of law has made him one of the foremost lawyers at the bar in the State. He is the Democratic nominee for County attorney. In the course of human events it is essential that men affiliate themselves with one of the great parties that form political history. But over and above party comes the recognition of the man. His ability, his standing in the community and his friendliness towards all class of Humanity. In advocating the cause of Mr. McFadden we do it with all earnestness and since-rey that is possible. In his election to the office of county attorney there will be no regrets. Those who have followed our advice in the past, have doubtless found out that we tell them nothing but the truth. In voting for Mr. McFadden the populace will be but tending a fitting recognition to home production, who has struggled from a poor boy in our midst to the top of his profession. His record in behalf of the people in the office of councilman from the second ward, demonstrates what to expect of him as county attorney. The Negroes who have and are being told various tales, can rest assured that the make up of Mr. McFadden is a guarantee of fair and just treatment to all irrespective of color or previous condition. A MAN OF STAID QUAL ITIFS Hon. D. E. Cornell the pioneer citizen now of Bonner Springs was in the city last week renewing old friendship and making the acquaintence of new ones. To meet this well known gentleman is a pleas- IT IS ALRIGHT The democracy in their convention last week succeeded in putting before us an exceptionally strong, clean ticket, men who stand for something in the community. The people have their eyes open and it is to be a battle of men, the best men and not one of party. Mr. F. H. Holcomb the present most efficient county clerk and a candidate for re-election on the Democratic tick et, has established such a phenomenal record that he will land again beyond all reasonable doubt. He has demonstrated that he is the right man in the right place. His record is one of which to be proud. A MAN WHO IS A MAN Hon. Nnou Bowman the popular and well known gentleman who aspires to be congress man in the 2nd congressional district will be a winner by long odds. In voting for him the people of the second district will have the pleasure of voting for a man with a back bone and not a weakling. A man who will stand up at all times for the right thirth and for the best interest of all the people.

Grand Duke Alexis of Russia ie very fond of fried potatoes, and dur- ing his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. ‘The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. “I can tell you who he is,” said a neighbor one day. “He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and ‘one of the greatest men in Russia.” Utterly amazed, the woman asked: “In heaven's name, how shouid'I “ad- dress him?” *Oh, call him ‘Your Excellency,’ ot ‘Your Royal Highness,” was the | an swer. ‘The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: “I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes.” ‘The grand duke burst out laughing, ‘and paid more for the potatoes thax ho had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato, ‘Girard \Wae Gonsiderate. One of the sea captains in the em- ploy of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee’s fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip suc- ceeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspec- tion in the captain’s absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cut- ting the rail, The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his tell ing migh: have unpleasant conse quences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. ‘The captain was in terror of a repri- mand, but, hearing néthing from his employer, supposed the incident closed.

Great Financier Inherited Much of His Genius From Her. There is a tradition that John Pier- pont Morgan wrote poetry when he was a youth, long before he even dreamed of coming to be regarded as the master mind in the realm of finance. It is reasonably fair to pre- sume that the tradition is based on fact, for his maternal grandfather was @ poet of some distinction, Rev. John Plerpont, who died in Medford, Mass., in 1866. Juliet Pierpont, the clergy- man’s daughter, and mother of the financial colossus of the present day, inherited a good deal of her father’s poetic temperament and doubtless communicated it to her son, who, by the way, was known to his school- mates as “Pip” Morgan. She was married to Junius Spencer Morgan in 1836, She it was who had most to do with designing the mansion on what is now Farmington avenue, Hartford, Conn., where John Pierpont Morgan was born. Many changes and additions have been made to the house, but the original structure stands Just as it was planned by Mrs. ‘Morgan, under whose personal svser- a ee h oe q Xs ) XS Wy IS ve io Esa vision it was completed in the early 40's. It is now owned by another member of the Morgan family err Noon comes at 11.27, legal standard time, in Akron, 0., according to a de- cision just handed down by the su preme court of the stete of Ohio. ‘Thomas Mier took out a fire insurance policy on his saloon at 11:20, standard time, four years ago, the policy being @ated noon of that day. At the very minute he was getting the policy the saloon caught fire and was burned. Ohio law makes standard time legal time, and the company refused to pay the $2,000 insurance on Mier’s saloon. Tae case was fought through the su- preme court, which has decided that “noon” meant the time the sun passed the meridian at Akron, which is 11:27, standard time. The court or- dered the insurance company to pay. Wanted to Know His Value. An unusual letter was read to the Ruthin (Eng.) Board of Guardians re: cently, It was addressed by a pauper to the clerk of the board, and begged him to inquire of a wax chandler what he would give for the writer's skin, and whether his body would do, if melted, to make candles or some form of lubrication for machinery axles. Furthermore he wished to learn of a doctor for what his bones were best adapted—whether they were most suitable for knife and fork handles, what price they ought to fetch, and whether they would command a better price if sent to make handles for sur- gical instruments, (ie Rina ick alee AiR cena a3 Mrs. John G.

THE POLICE FIRED INTO THE CROWD Two Policemen Shot, One of Them Perhaps Fatally—Trouble Started With the Beating of a Non-Union Miner by Strike Pickets—Governor Sends State Militia to the Scene. SHENANDOAH, PA.—(Special.) A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 1900 seem insignificant, holds Shenandoah in its grasp. Since 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, Center street, which is one of the principle streets of the town, has been in the hands of an infuriated mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally. Joseph Beddal, a leading merchant, and cousin of Sheriff Beddal, was brutally clubbed to death and upward of a score of strikers whose names could not be ascertained were shot by policemen and it is expected that many deaths will result. The trouble started about 6 o'clock Wednesday evening when Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal attempted to escort two non-union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a bundle under his arm, and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him, and when it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime, Beddal opened fire on the mob which had gathered, and emptied his revolver. Two of the shots took effect, one man being shot in the leg, and the other in the foot. The deputy and the other strike breaker were now compelled to fly for their lives and took refuge in the Philadelphia & Reading railroad depot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5,000, which was becoming more threatening and demonstrative every moment. Joseph Beddal, a hardware merchant, and cousin of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd in an effort to reach his cousin, and the mob, divining that he was carrying ammunition to those inside the depot, seized him and beat him with clubs and billets into insensibility. He died en route to the miners' hospital. Shortly after this the entire borough police force arrived on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff and his men to an engine which had been backed to the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape, they surrounded the engine, and the engineer was afraid to move. In a few moments, however, the police fired a volley, dispersing the crowd for a brief period and the engineer turned on full steam and got away. Stones were thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first volley the mob fell back, and several were seen to fall. The retreat however, was but momentary. They turned and, with revolvers, stones and even a few shotguns, charged on the little band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen turned in their flight at short intervals and fired volley after volley at their mencellless pursuers, but the mob seemed thoroughly infurred and revolvers seemed to have no terrors for them. When the Lehigh railroad crossing was reached, a passing freight train blocked the progress of the police, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. One of them, Stiney Yacopsky, will probably die. It is estimated that upward of 1,000 shots were fired and the wonder is that more fatalities did not result. More than twenty strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot, and at least two of them will die. THREE NERVY HOBOES. Held Up a Passenger at Ogden Union Depot, Then Held Up Detective. OGDEN, U.-Special.) Three hoes coily held up and robbe a passenger on the Rio Grande Western train who had stepped out on the platform of the union station here Thursday night. A detective who went in pursuit of the robbers was, in turn, held up and relieved of his revolver, handcuffs and other paraphernalia and told to hurry away, which he did. A posse, headed by several policemen, took up the pursuit of the robbers. They came up with them, and, in the exchange of shots which followed, Policeman Farr was severely wounded. The robbers then fled toward the hills north of the city. Bloodhounds from the State penitentiary at Salt Lake were telegraphed for and were put on the track of the robbers. Shot His Son and Killed Himself. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. An auction of rare books, in London Thursday afternoon, brought high prices. A Caxton Royal book sold for $7,000 and a second folio Shakespeare brought $3,075. By order of Lieutenant General Miles, commanding the army, chapains hereafter are required to include in their monthly reports a statement of all births, marriages, baptisms and deaths occurring at their stations. A postoffice has been established at Earnest, Kiowa county, O. T., with J. W. Adams as postmaster. In a collision off Malacca, Straits Settlement, between the British schoolers Prince Alexander and Ban-hin-Guan, the former vessel was sunk and forty lives were lost. SIDEWALK COLLAPSES. Gives Way Under Weight of a Crowd Gathered by a Street Crowd Gathered by a street Brawl. CHICAGO—(Special.) A sidewalk in front of 3448 Halstead street collapsed Wednesday while it was crowded with men, women and children who were watching a wounded man being carried to a doctor's office. Fifty persons were hurled ten feet downward. Four were badly injured and a dozen more were bruised. Enos Dailey, who was being carried into the building, was probably mortally wounded by a pistol shot supposed to have been inflicted in a brawl near Thirty-eight and Morgan streets. The crowd had gathered, drawn by curiosity, on hearing the shooting. The injured: Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzsimmons. Chicago Police Gathered in Forty Little Tots Between 4 and 7. CHICAGO — (Special). Under the direction of the probation officers, the police made a tour of the principal downtown retail streets Thursday night and gathered in as many as they could of the scores of little children who are sent into the streets nightly to beg and peddle. Forty children, boys and girls, all between 4 and 7 years old, were gathered in. Each "walf-finding wagon" was preceded a half block by two policemen, who picked up the little ones and put them into the wagons. Many others escaped the officers. The children are held at the Harrison street police annex pending an investigation in the case of each child by the Visitation and Aid Society. The raids will be kept up until the streets are cleared of baby beggars. Double Drowning at Picnic BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO. — (Special.) Rev. W. H. Leatherman, pastor of the Methodist church at DeGraff, was drowned Wednesday in trying to save Earl Needham, aged 13, who went down with him. Thirty boys of the clergyman's church were on a picnic at a nearby resort. Young Needham went swimming and was seized with cramps. The minister tried to rescue him. Rev. Mr. Leatherman was 35 years old and leaves a widow and two children. Chinese Tariff Revision. SHANGHAI—(Special.) The work upon tariff revision, undertaken by representatives of China and the eight treaty powers has been completed. It has been agreed that the duties shall average from 4 to $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of actual value. Russia, Italy, Spain and Portugal have not participated in the revision negotiations. It is not expected that these countries will raise any objections, but their assent to the new tariff is essential. Indian Arrested for Wife Murder. GUTHRIE, OKLA.—(Special.) The officers of Comanche county have arrested a Comanche named Jose, charged with the murder of his wife, Ah-Dish-Na, on July 15 last. It is alleged that Jose abandoned his wife for another squaw, who soon afterward died, and then he returned to Ah-Dish-Na, who refused to receive him. This so angered him that he killed her. Refuses to Try a Feud Case FRANKFORT, KY.—(Special.) A. W. Young, of Montgomery county, whom Governor Beckham appointed as special judge to go to Breathitt county to sit in the Cockrill-Hargis feud murder case, has returned his commission to the governor. He declines to serve because of a protest against him by Cockrill's relatives and because of relationship with the Hargis family. Three Young Women Drowned Three Young Women Drowned. MONTICELLO, MINN—(Special.) Miss Mabel Wells, of this place, and Eva Sasker and Laura T. Tye, both of Faribault, all young ladies, were drowned in Lake Jefferson Thursday evening by the capsizing of their boat during a storm. Miner Shot From Ambush. CHARLESTON, W. VA.—(Special.) A miner en route to his work at the mines of the Blume Coal and Coke Company on Keeny's creek, in Fayette county, was shot from ambush Wednesday. He will recover. One of the Keller injunctions applies to that field. Suicide at Lawton, Okla. LAWTON, OKLA.—(Special.) John Quigley, of Mount Ayr, Ind., committed suicide here Thursday by taking morphine. He arrived here recently as an employee of the Frisco railroad* no reason for the suicide is known. Nebraska Farmer Hangs Himself BEATRICE, NEB—(Special) Frank Prible, one of the wealthiest farmers of Southern Gage county, hanged himself Tuesday night at his home, two and a half miles south of Odell. The cause of the act is unknown. Shook Things Up. OMAHA, NEB. — (Special.) An earthquake shock, which was general over portions of Nebraska, Western Iowa and South Dakota, occurred shortly before 1 o'clock Monday. The seismic disturbances were felt at a large number of towns in the three states and lasted from ten to fifteen seconds. No damage has been reported thus far although the shock was sufficient to rattle dishes and affect bell towers in some places. Yankton, S. D., reports a shock PEMBROKE, GA.—(Special.) John Wise, a negro, who last Wednesday committed an assault upon Mrs. John Smith, a young white woman, was lynched here Tuesday night. He was captured near Poller, Ga., after a desperate fight with a posse. He was returned to this place and positively identified as the assailant of Mrs. Smith. He was then hanged to a telegraph pole and his body riddled with bullets. You can generally flatter a man by telling him what a cynical crap he is. BURNED BY EXPLOSION DURING BIG PITTSBURG FIRE. THN PROPERTY LOSS WILL BE $318,000 Two Eight-Story Buildings Almost Entirely Destroyed—Buildings Were Occupied by Paint and Rubber Firms, and the Nature of the Stock Made the Fire Difficult to Combat. PITTSBURG.—(Special.) Six firemen injured, two eight-story buildings almost completely destroyed, a number of others slightly damaged and a property loss estimated at $300,000, is the result of a fire on Liberty street, which raged fiercely for seven hours Wednesday. The injured were: William Dalzell, painfully burned about face and hands. William Reese, painfully burned about the face and hands. Lieutenant D. Leech, hands burned and hair singed. C. Buckley, burned and cut about the head. Daniel Gallaher, cut about head and hands. About 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning flames were discovered issuing from the building No. 919 Liberty street, occupied by the DeNoon Bros' Paint and Varnish Company. Owing to the combustible nature of the stock, the fire spread rapidly and soon the adjoining building, occupied by Stewart Bros., dealers in rubber goods, was also in flames. As the fire spread there were frequent explosions, and about 2 o'clock, when the flames appeared to be succumbing to the efforts of the firemen, there was an explosion that shook the building and shot the flames far out over Liberty street. Five firemen were caught and badly burned about the hands and scorched about the face. They were at once taken to the Homeopathic hospital and later removed to their homes. Their injuries are not regarded as serious. Meanwhile the smoke and odor from the burning rubber, mixed with paints, oil and benzine, nearly stiffed the firemen and made it almost impossible for them to get at the blaze, but they worked herically and about 8 o'clock had the fire under control. Both buildings were gutted and S. Ewarts' wholesale grocery, adjoining on the east, was badly damaged, Speer & Hollar's furniture store, A. C. Ellis, hat dealer, and J. J. Porter, millinery supplies, on Pennsylvania avenue, suffered considerably from smoke and water. The origin of the fire has not been determined. The loss is about two-thirds covered by insurance. A revised estimate of losses places the total at $318,500, distributed as follows: Stewart Brothers, $175,000; DeNoon Brothers, $105,000; King estate, which owns the building, $15,000; Ewart & Sons, adjoining DeNoon Brothers, $10,000; Kirkpatrick & Co., $3,000; William T. Shannon & Sons, $2,500; Graff & Co., adjoining Stewart Brothers, $2,500; Standard Manufacturing Company, $2,500; A. C. Ellis & Co., $1,000; Speer & Hollar, $1,000; J. K. Porter, $1,000. The origin of the fire is still a mystery. FOR THE DE MORES MURDER. Seven Arabs Sentenced to Death and Twelve to Imprisonment TUNIS.—(Special). The trial of the assassins of the Marquis de Mores at Susa, near here, resulted Wednesday in the condemnation to death of El Kheir and the sentencing of Hamma Chlekh to twenty years' imprisonment. The public prosecutor, in closing his speech, reviewed the allegations brought in behalf of Madame De Mores that local functionaries had been implicated, and declared that the evidence submitted to that effect had failed to prove any collusion. The court, in pouncing its verdict, added absolutely to the proof of the allegation that the murder was committed by other individuals than those arraigned. Seventeen others accused of the assassination of the Marquis de Mores were sentenced in default, six to be put to death and eleven to hard labor. The Marquis de Mores was killed near Gates, in June, 1896, by a number of bandits. El Kheir and Hamma Chiekh were the only ones of his assailants captured. His widow, who was Marle Von Hoffman, daughter of L. Von Hoffman, of New York, offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the principal assassins. Noted Desperado Slain EL PASO. TEX.—(Special.) "Black Jack" McDonald, a noted desperado, was shot and killed in his saloon at Jaurez, Mexico, late Monday by an American, whose name is unknown. The fight resulted from a game of dice in which "Black Jack" and three Americans were engaged. Two of the Americans fled. The other is held. Three Killed by Lightning PITTSBURG, PA.—(Special.) A terrific thunder storm with a heavy rain visited this section Tuesday evening, causing three deaths and much property damage. The killed: Mrs. Katie Walsh, of Eureka street. Francisco Imperator.

The badly mangled body of an unknown man was found on the Union Pacific track two and a half miles south of here Monday afternoon. He was fairly well dressed and in his pockets were cards bearing the names of George McLean, E. Jones and C. A. Cameron, 1805 Marion street, Little Rock, Ark. He has a small amount of money on his person, some tobacco and a few other effects. It is easy to secure the world's good Latest Kansas News AGED WOMAN'S HEROISM. KANSAS CORN DOING WELL. Mrs. McDowell Burned to Death Near Scranton, Kan SCRANTON. — (Special.) Tuesday morning the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gideon McDowell, an aged couple, near Scranton, was destroyed by fire, and as a result, the wife is dead and the husband critically burned. Mr. McDowell has, for a number of years been an invalid. His wife, after building the fire, went to the pasture for the cattle. She saw the flames and rushed back to the aid of her husband. Receiving no reply to her calls, she dashed into the house. Mr. McDowell had already gone from his room and was busy in an effort to save the household furniture. Soon he saw his wife come from the building enveloped in flames. Too feeble to lead her to the open well, he drew a bucket of water but the rope was so short that not until the curb was broken away could he give her any relief. As soon as her clothing was torn away, she ran toward a neighbor's house. Miners on their way to work met her and carried her almost lifeless body to the home of a neighbor, where she died shortly afterward. Neighbors found the old man unconscious where he had fallen by the side of the well. His face and hands were burned to the bone and the exertion, together with injuries received may cost him his life. PRIESTS HIS VICTIMS. Kansas Swindler Who Turns Over Chucks for "eating." Clerks for Legacies. SALINA.-(Special.) A stranger, claiming to be from Cincinnati, has been working a clever swindling scheme on a number of Catholic priests in Central Kansas. He represents himself to be a lawyer, in whose care has been left a legacy to several Catholic churches in this state, the donor being a Cincinnati woman, formerly a resident of Kansas. Mr. Stranger carries the check in his pocket, which is turned over to the priest on the payment of the attorney's fee of $5. So smooth is his scheme that every man he sees, even though he does not accept the check, feels as though he should, for his story is a very plausible one. At Hays City the priest in charge of the parish paid the $5 and accepted the check for $600, which he had cashed at the local bank, but which the priest was later informed was no good, and that, besides losing the $5, he would also be compelled to pay the protest fees. The people are warned to be on the look-out for this fellow, who is a man apparently 60 years of age. FIRE IN KANSAS PRISON. Two Stories of the Shoe Plant at Lansing, Institution, Burned Out LEAVENWORTH.—(Special.) Fire which started in the Harris shoe plant at the state penitentiary at Lansing, between 8 and 9 o'clock Monday night, almost destroyed the second and third stories of the plant and caused a loss of nearly $10,000. The fire started in the second story of the building, but its origin is unknown. The fire was burning briskly when discovered by a guard. The penitentiary fire department fought the flames for two hours, and finally checked what threatened to be a very serious conflagration. The lower floor is only damaged by water. The factory is operated by convict labor, and is owned by John W. Harris, banker, of Nortonville, Kas. The convicts in the penitentiary displayed a little uneasiness for fear fire would spread to their apartments, but there was no demonstration on their part. TIRED OF BEING "PICKED ON." So "Kiss" Wilson Took a Shot at His Elder Brother. EMORPIA—(Special.) "Kiss" Wilson, colored, shot, and dangerously wounded his older brother, Sam, Monday afternoon, with a 38-caller revolver. The trouble was over a bottle of whisky. The boy who did the shooting is 19 years old and his brother is 23. When questioned by officers, young Wilson said he shot his brother because he was tired of being "plucked on." The ball struck Wilson just above the left eye, plercing the skull, dropping through the eye socket and lodging in the skin on the left side of the nose. He will probably recover. Choked by a Burglar. PARSONS.—(Special.) A burglar entered the home of LaFayette Nowlin, on East Corning avenue, Wednesday morning about 3 o'clock. Mrs. Nowlin was too frightened to give the alarm, but a young girl at once began to scream. The man seized her and choked her nearly to insensibility, but her screams had alarmed the police. The burglar made his escape, but it is pretty well known who he is and his capture is almost assured. Frank E. Grimes, the state treasurer has bought a shirt factory. TOPEKA—(Special). The general fund of the state treasurer's office was swaled considerably during the last fiscal year by fees turned in by the various departments. The following shows the amount of fees turned in by different departments: Bank commissioner, $8.688.67; Osawatomie asylum, $2.350.25; clerk supreme court, $14.133.90; grain inspector, $34.550.84; oil inspector, $19.568.03; insurance superintendent. $123.997.20; medical registration board. $13.520.80; penitentiary, $21, 774.07; Topeka asylum, $3, 794.77; total, $241.977.72. WINFIELD.—(Special.) The district court ordered Monday that O. W. Coffelt, confined in the Cowley county jail on the charge of murdering Sahita Fe Detective Montgomery, be transferred to the Sedgwick county jail at Wichita until the further orders of the court. The state made the request, giving as its reasons that threats had come to them that an attempt would be made by some of Coffelt's friends in the territory to liberate him this summer. Coffelt has had two trials for murder, resulting each time in a disagreement of the juries. Prospect Is Still Fine for a Big Crop The week has been warm, though the temperature has remained slightly below normal. The highest temperatures were recorded in the Western division, in many counties of which it reached 100 degrees, while in many counties in the eastern half of the state the temperature failed to reach 90 degrees. A larger, better distributed rainfall occurred this week than last, yet it has been quite light in the central counties during the past fifteen days. A severe hallstorm occurred in Dickinson county. Eastern Division—Corn is in unusually good condition and in many of the southern and central counties much of the early corn is hard enough to feed. Wheat threshing and stacking has progressed, and while some counties report it poor, others report it better than expected. Oats threshing is progressing with good yields. Flax is being cut in Wilson, with cutting nearly finished in Coffey; threshing has developed fair yields in Chase, but poor yields in Johnson. Haying has progressed rapidly; tame hay is now mostly up and tame haying become more general. Potatoes are a fine crop in quality and quantity, though in Geary and Anderson they are rotting in places. Apples are quite promising in Johnson and Shawnee, but are dropping in Morris. Peaches are fine in quality, but a light crop in Montgomery. Plowing is progressin gin Allen and Johnson, but the ground is to dry in Chase.

Deputy United States Marshals Frank McGrath and George Holenbeck left Tuesday for Washington to bring W. C. Tidwell from the federal insane asylum to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. Tidwell is a hardened criminal. A few months ago, while serving his second term in the federal penitentiary, he became insane; at least he claimed he was, and the doctors so found. He was transferred to the Washington asylum, along with two other insane convicts. En route to the East, one of the other convicts was cutting up a few capers. It netted Tidwell. "Oh, keep still," said he, "You are no more insane than I am." The officials heard the sally, and notified the asylum authorities, who watched his closely and discovered that he was not insane at all. He was ordered back to the penitentiary.

AUDITORIUM STOCK CONTEST. Number of Tickets Sold and Interest In It, Increase Every Day. Interest in the Auditorium Stock Contest, which was opened in Omaha July 1, has increased steadily every day since that time and the project promises to be a great success in every way. The plan adopted for disposing of a sufficient amount of the common stock of the Omaha Auditorium Company to complete and furnish what will be the largest and handsomest building of its kind in the northwest. The common stock has been divided into shares of twenty-five cents each, and with each share the purchaser is given two guesses, one on a special prize and one on a list of 1,001 prizes. The capital prize of $5,000 in gold, contributed by the Defiance Starch Co. of Omaha, Neb., and 1,000 other prizes, ranging in value from $2.50 up to $3,500, contributed by the business men of Omaha, will be awarded immediately after the election next November, but the contest for them has already opened, and will close October 23, or as much sooner as the shares of stock are sold. The capital prize will be awarded to the person guessing closest to the total vote of the governor will be cast for the governor of New York, November 4, 1902, and the other prizes to the 1,000 persons making the next closest guesses. The total vote at the last five elections was: 1891, 1,165,085; 1894, 1,275,671; 1896, 1,434,046; 1898, 1,359,190; 1900, 1,555,520. There will be seven more special cash prizes, to be awarded the first and fifteenth of each month until November, and persons buying tickets now have one guess with each share of stock on them as well as on the other prizes. Each special prize will be in cash, and not less than $50 nor more than $800. The prize, divided into small changes, will be divided and put into two sacks without being counted, and the person guessing nearest the amount in the larger sack will be given the contents of both sacks. The contest is not confined to residents of Omaha or limited to any number of tickets. Anyone desiring further information or tickets should address Omaha Auditorium Co. Omaha, Nebraska.
